Funny Book

It was a funny and good book. I liked the part where the power went out!

great one for the little ones in your life

Fun children's book about a Couch Potato. Illustrations are charming. Text is simple. Message is accepting and encouraging - how a couch potato might, just might, feel like getting off the comfy cozy couch to... go for a walk outside. WOT. But let's not overdo it, only sometimes. Because the couch is comfy and cozy and that's a nice place to be too.

Great book for the 3-8yo in your life.

it's relatable to current issues, i dig this book

good book good humor and relates to real issues we have in my city where children are obese

The best

My girls (age 5 and 7) absolutely love this book. I do too. We have listened to it multiple times. They wanted to see the pictures, so we found a YouTube video, and they did NOT like the readers voice. We returned to this, narrated by Kirby Heyborne. As soon as they heard his voice, they both replied, “ahhhhhhh” (in his voice) and mentioned how much they missed him.

We love all the books in this series!!
